Wed, 02 May 2012 06:44:58 +0000http://www.slamonline.com/online/?p=204836#comment-2225445My all time favorite coach, well deserved. And Tarzan, I’d love to see the Spurs win it all. Easily my second favorite organization (just the epitome of class and intelligence) behind the Magic. Timmy D getting #5? That’d be sweet.

He wasnt (in his prime) Kobe’s favourite player in the League for no reason. He was a superstar, limited to an all star role for the good of the team. A Great team.

Wed, 02 May 2012 00:24:17 +0000http://www.slamonline.com/online/?p=204836#comment-2225064The Sixers started off hot against mediocre competition and fell way off to the 8th seed so no to Doug Collins. They were the 7th seed last season so they had a worse season this season. The Pacers took a step forward so Vogel belonged in the conversation but you can’t give an award like that to a team that didn’t finish in the top 2 in their conferences. Same with the MVP award. Just can’t happen. If it could, Kevin Love and Chris Paul would deserve a lot of votes for MVP behind LeBron and Durant.

Who else had to deal with their franchise player mailing in the season, selling out his teammates and asking for his coach to be fired? Magic had every reason to fold it up and quit on the season. SVG kept all the non-Dwight players going hard all year. Great job by Stan. If he can’t be COY maybe we can all pitch in and get him a punching bag with Dwight’s face on it.

Holiday, the lockout, roster turnover, and another year were going to cripple the spurs according to a lot of “experts”. Damn I hope spurs win the title, its there to take. I’m glad sjack is back, he should have never left.

I mean POP is a great coach, one of best all time. But he has plenty of talent, and they finished first last year as well! I would say Frank Vogel, Doug Collins, or Tyrone Corbin should have gotten it! I mean are any those teams (Indiana, Philadelphia, Utah) where you thought they would be… Especially Utah with no true star, and what Corbin got out of 2 rookies, 2 2nd year guys, and a couple of D leaguers and Journey men!

Props most definitely due to Pop for his no bull@£$% approach to the game but lets not get it twisted: If Timmy is your franchise player, you’re set for the next 15 years. No drama, no beef, arrives at camp in shape, unselfish with a capital U, in check ego etc…total package.

SEVERELY underrated players with the perfect coach. duncan has been getting some love for best power forward ever, but lets be honest. why doesnt anyone add him to the goat conversation? he accomplished EVERYTHING. he was ELITE at BOTH ends of the floor on a nightly basis for about 12 years! dominated straight from the get go. SPURS are the most underrated franchise in all of sports.

Frank Vogel didn’t deserve it over those two guys. It’s the same with the MVP award. Can’t give the COY award to the best coach each season, can’t give the MVP to the best player in the league each season.

You are absolutely right and it’s yet another reason why nobody deserves this award more than Pop does. An old timer once told me something along the lines of: “Basketball should be about three things: the court, the game and the players, that’s it.” I like Pops because he has a no nonsense attitude about hoops. Just get on with the job. I like that.
